An Opportunity to Meet Storrington’s Volunteers
Come along and learn what these amazing groups do for our community and the volunteering roles that are available.
They do so much more than you would think
The groups are sometimes part of a national charity while others are very local and small. The services and support cover young people, elderly people, those with ill health or disabilities, people without their own transport, those affected by the cost of living. Other groups care for our environment tackling the village’s ever-present traffic issues or working to keep community areas available and accessible to all.
These groups ensure the history of the village is available to all now and in the future, provide homes for swifts, give our children values and skills, raise funds for initiatives and ongoing projects, relieve the isolation of the elderly and make our high street and surrounding areas bright and welcoming. Give support and help people overcome adversity, fight to give us clean air, teach and support us in our recycling endeavours.
Want to use your skills or learn new ones?
These groups require volunteers for a very wide range of activities with skills that include driving, answering phones, clearing undergrowth, medical response, maintaining websites and social media presence, marketing, finance, and many others.
